•    Maintenance of gutter area: The gutter space must be cleaned properly. If in case, there is any debris, then it must be removed off, otherwise, that would soon become a home to termites or other pests.

•    Keep wood off: Termites love wood, and find a cozy place for themselves there. If you want to save your property from future termite attack, then make sure that you keep limited firewood or loose tree trunks and branches at the home. Also, even if you are keeping limited wood, make sure that it is properly covered.

•    Sealing cracks & holes: Keep a vigilant eye upon the cracks & holes in the house. If there is any crack or holes, make sure that it is sealed properly. You should look up for such cracks & gaps at specific places like space between electrical wiring, near windows, foundations, etc.
So, these are certain tips, which can help you in making your property safe from future termite attacks.
